GUI: Error V-383-50513-5749 Could not contact managed host.

Cause

5634 (TCP) port is not open for hosts to communicate to and from MS via the xprtld daemon

Resolution

Check whether the xprtld process is running or not managed host.

Run the following command on MH:
ps -ef | grep xprtld
 

Check firewall ports: 5634, 14161 ( port needs to be open on both MS and MH bi-directionally )

i.e :
curl -v telnet://IP of MH:5634 and curl -v telnet://IP of CMS:5634
curl -v telnet://IP of MH:14161 and curl -v telnet://IP of SMS:14161 

Check xprtld process on MH:
ps -eaf | grep xprtld

Try starting xprtld on MH
/opt/VRTSsfmh/adm/xprtldctrl start

Check xprtl connectivity from MH to MS:
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/xprtlc -u "root" -l https://MS-hostname:5634/world/getvitals

Check xprtl connectivity from MS to MH:
/opt/VRTSsfmh/bin/xprtlc -u "root" -l https://MH-hostname:5634/world/getvitals
